Frequently Asked Questions
Is special ventilation required for pubs?
Commercial environments must meet strict air-supply requirements based on stove output and building size. Bonfire specifies and installs appropriate solutions.
Can a stove be installed without an existing chimney?
Yes. Twin-wall insulated flue systems allow installation in pubs with no chimney or where the chimney is unsuitable.
Do you work around opening hours?
Installation can be scheduled to minimise disruption to trading.
How long does installation take?
Most pub projects take 1–3 days depending on flue complexity and structural requirements.
